Products that are developed from focused market research to align with their needs and desires. And as our sales force, we need you to represent all the elements of the Amway business – a convenient purchasing opportunity as well

When our fathers started this business nearly fifty years ago, they offered people the opportunity to be part of the free enterprise system – the chance to have a business of their own. That’s the foundation from which this business has grown, and from which the Amway Business Plan was created. But you should know that the Amway Business Plan was developed with an emphasis balanced between sponsoring and selling. And it’s a balance that requires a focus on selling first, and sponsorship later. Because we knew then that without developing customers

We’ll be here to support you in doing the things that are right for your business. So together we can build an even stronger foundation, and a consumer oriented culture that creates opportunity for everyone.

Barry Pragt Victoria, Aust. Occupation – Tourism Manager The ability to connect to people of different ages and from varying cultural backgrounds is a trait that will get you ahead in this business. It has worked for new Founders Emerald Barry Pragt. The Melbourne resident is building his Amway® business from strength to strength on that basis. Barry’s ever-growing group has seen an influx of new IBOs from the Y generation. These 20-somethings are flocking to learn more about the AMWAY opportunity – and they are telling all their friends about it too. Barry says that the great thing about this age group is that they are very good at networking, which makes it easier to spread the word around. To give you an idea, the average person with today’s technology can easily have at least 100 “friends” who they communicate with regularly.

Founders Emerald is awarded to qualified Platinum IBOs who maintain Emerald qualification for 12 months of the AMWAY® fiscal year.

Not only has Barry’s business appealed to the younger generation, he also has many people in his group who come from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds. He admits that it is a challenge when innocent misunderstandings occur, but he always rectifies the situation. Barry recalls one slightly embarrassing moment when he greeted someone with a kiss on the cheek, only to find that the person was uncomfortable with the greeting. “We both squirmed,” Barry light heartedly remembers. He immediately asked what that person was at ease with and cleared up the miscommunication. He adds, “We are building teams of people so they need to feel comfortable.” Barry now has his sights set on Diamond and plans to help others achieve what they want out of the business. This year is gearing up to be a big year for him with the Emerald Plus 2008 cruise on the Seabourn Spirit, Achievers 2008 in Mauritius, plus a trip to Holland to visit his family. It is the kind of life that Barry has always dreamed of. As Barry says, “The great thing about the business is that the line between work and play is blurred. You are

Keshav and Su Banovits New South Wales, Aust. Occupation – Building Maintenance/Database Administrator Keshav and Su Banovits have come a long way from living in a caravan park in Western Sydney. The couple first met in Perth after Su moved to Australia from England. Su had already seen the business plan in her home country and thought that having an Amway® business would be a better alternative to working in a job for the next 40 years. Keshav and Su then decided to move to Sydney where they met their upline Emeralds Glenn and Kay Woodhams. Su says, “Having moved to Sydney only two weeks prior to joining, we knew no one. We had to learn to meet people very quickly, so to do that we practiced invitation scripts over and over until they became natural. Initially Keshav was so scared of inviting people to look at the business that he was almost physically ill. To get us through this initial period we looked at our goals constantly, kept in contact with our mentors and encouraged each other.” After being in the business for eight years, the couple feel more optimistic about their future. “Overall we’re less stressed about money and our confidence has grown in many areas – mine in makeup and skincare and Keshav in meeting people and showing them how the business works. Keshav feels better about his financial future. We’ve also taken control of our debt and put a program in place to work through it,” says Su.

Wendy Hui-Ping Gao Auckland, NZ Occupation – Beautician Wendy Hui-Ping Gao used to describe herself as shy and lazy, but all that started to change once she became an IBO. As a result of her exposure to the education and training, combined with the positive influence of the people she was associating with in the business, Wendy became more confident and driven to succeed. Wendy, who owns and runs a beauty salon in Auckland, says, “Before I joined life was about. If there was a problem, I would try to avoid it. But now, I am more confident in dealing with everything. I have a dream and I know what I really want.” She continues, “I have found myself through the Amway Business. Instead of working day and night for the money, I am now able to do what I really want to do. I am more energetic than before.” Being recognised as a Platinum was an unforgettable moment for Wendy. She says, “I was very proud of myself to be able to stand on the stage, to be recognised as a successful Platinum and share my story to all the IBOs in my not-so-good English.” And, this is just the start of her journey too. Wendy adds, “I am looking forward to becoming a Diamond and helping more people build their dreams and make them come true!”

Lan Mary Guo Auckland, NZ Occupation – Beautician “I always wanted to have a better life,” says Lan Mary Guo. “I wanted to do something that was flexible and enjoyable. I had heard the success stories of Amway IBOs, so I decided to give it a try.” Lan, a beautician from Auckland, was met with negativity when she first told her friends that she was going to start an Amway business. However, she strongly believed it could give her the freedom she was searching for, so she kept on building it despite their concerns. Lan says, “I was really struggling with my communication skills when I first started Amway. I didn’t really know how to talk to people and convince them to purchase Amway products or even sign up as an IBO. I have learnt a lot from my upline and I am now more comfortable and more confident talking to people.” Along the way to Platinum, Lan has learnt: “To make people believe in me and believe in what I am doing, I have to change myself and change my attitude so I can be a better person with a successful life.” She adds, “With Amway, I am the boss of my life. I can schedule when I work, when I play, and when I sleep. I have total freedom in my hands. I am also able to provide my family with what they need. I don’t have to worry about the future.”

Damien Kelly and Elizabeth Mackay New South Wales, Aust. Occupation – Sales Executive/National Recruitment Manager Many people bet all of their hopes and dreams on the chance of winning the lotto. Damien Kelly and Elizabeth Mackay used to be one of those people until they realised that there was a better way of making their dream life a reality – and that it would be through building a successful Amway® business. The couple say, “We saw how this business could work and how big it could get and we understood delayed gratification. Money has never been everything to us, so we wanted it out of the way so we could get on with living the life we imagined.” They add, “Working together had its challenges. In the beginning we used to argue in the car over who should show the plan but we have learnt what our strengths are and now we work in sync.” It’s not just the couple who are benefiting from their thriving business either. Both Damien’s and Elizabeth’s families are enjoying the spoils of Amway’s great product selection, having access to important health information, and the opportunity to associate with the high calibre leaders that the couple believes this business attracts. Damien and Elizabeth are excited about what the future will bring them: “We have hope for an amazing life. We set inspiring goals together for our life and our business. We associate with positive, uplifting people who pour into us.” And, as a plus, “The business is also paying for our wedding in April!”

Tough stains will quickly dissolve, yet SA8 Pre Wash Laundry Spray is gentle enough that the colour of your clothes won’t be affected. If you are tackling more than just an isolated stain, try using TRI-ZYME® Stain Pre-Soak and Detergent Booster instead. It effectively breaks down stains by using a combination of three powerful enzymes.

Staying bright, even in Autumn Even though the weather is starting to become cooler, there’s no need to let go of the summer just yet. Your clothes can keep their bright, summery feel by washing them in SA8 Laundry Concentrate or SA8 Liquid Laundry
